The million-square-foot facility is located off John Dodd Road in Spartanburg County. More than 400 people are employed at the distribution center, and the employees there have impressed the retail giant..

Monday was the official opening, though the center has been shipping packages since September.

Amazon officials said the employees at the center are not only talented, but efficient. They said the workers ship out orders 30 percent faster at the Upstate facility than at similar Amazon sites elsewhere in the country.

"Everything we heard about Spartanburg and the Upstate is true. There is a phenomenal workforce and great business community here," Mike Roth, with Amazon, said.

Hillary Clinton's office said "nothing nefarious was at play" when the former secretary of state used her personal email address, rather than one provided by the State Department, during her four years as America's top diplomat.
